My 2022 Update:

1. Richard Pryor "...And It's Deep Too: The Complete Warner Recordings (1968-1992)" - If I'm going to be on this island, then dammit, I HAVE to laugh...
   
2. Cassandra Wilson - "New Moon Daughter" - Blue Note, 1995 - Simply the best recording of one of the best artists around. Her cover of "Strange Fruit" alone is almost worth putting this project on the list, but the whole thing is magical.
3. "The Tom Joyner Morning Show Old School Mix, Vol.1" - Cause I gots to have my funk and who better than the Fly Jock to mix the best of this genre? Nobody.
4. Tito Puente - "Fifty Years Of Swing" - RMM, 1997 - El Rey with his band and a who's who of Latin music.
5. Kurt Elling - "Man In The Air" - Blue Note, 2003 - Again, the best recording of one of the best artists around. (Nightmoves was a close second). Just an incredible project, most especially Resolution which is the second section of John Coltrane's suite "A Love Supreme".
6. Jimi Hendrix - "Are You Experienced?" - All the hits: Hey Joe, Foxy Lady, Purple Haze... Damn.
7. (Replacing Dave Brubeck "Vocal Encounters") Herbie Hancock "River: The Joni Letters",  2008. The album won the Album of the Year and Best Contemporary Jazz Album at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. and the title track "River" (featuring Corinne Bailey Rae) is, quite simply, a work of art.
8. Betty Carter - "The Audience With Betty Carter" - Verve 1980 - If you need a definition of bebop singing, listen to this. Period.
9. Jean-Luc Ponty - "Cosmic Messenger" Atlantic 1978 - During his spacey, fusion heyday... Amazing. Artful. Complete. The best from that period...and that is saying something.
10. (Replacing Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet - "The Juliet Letters") Wynton Marsalis "Black Codes (From the Underground)" Columbia Records, 1985.  The more I listen to this, the more I have to listen to it.  It is as close to a perfect bop project as I have ever heard.

Another adjustment in my personal Top 10

Gone is Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet “The Juliette Letters”
Replacing it....Keith Jarrett “ The Köln” Concert.  wow—wow—wow.
